Published: September 2020

Chondrosarcoma of nasal cavity is a rare entity, and only few case reports exist. Diagnosis is made on histopathological analysis. Differentiating chondrosarcoma from chondromas can be challenging. Surgical excision remains the treatment of choice. We report a case of a 73-year-old male who presented to us with complaints of bilateral nasal obstruction. Histopathology reported as moderately differentiating chondrosarcoma. Patient subsequently underwent excision of tumor by craniofacial resection with adjuvant radiotherapy. Patient is on regular follow-up and has shown no evidence of recurrence.
